    Feminism is about allowing equal access to choices for all, including men, doesn’t matter who you are.

    If you’re a post-menopausal woman and all you want to do is rear grandkids that’s just as valid a choice as a post-menopausal woman deciding she wants to run for public office. Depends on who you are, and what you want to do.

    If you’re talking about constructing social hierarchies based on biology, then only women should be in power because the future can only come from them, ie kids. Sperm is cheap and available in vast quantities, eggs are a precious commodity.

    So please no, egalitarian frameworks, ie not discriminating based on sex or gender, are the only social frameworks which ensure optimal self-actualization for current and future community members

      Who’s hearing that loud whooshing noise, trying a serious lecture in response to a meme based on popular culture?

      That’s just the point of this post. It’s pointing out, that post menopausal women can have more than one purpose depending on what they choose to do with their lives.

      It doesn’t say the only purpose. I think you missed that.

      Except said biology gives men the physical strength to remain in power ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Maybe, but strength isn’t the only biologically-driven determinant factor which helps with attaining power. See Cleopatra and Caesar.
